you might also want to check if there are any trailing space characters
in the string you're checking.
try:
if( string.trim().equals( "string" ) ) { do something }

Subject: String as parameter
Hi
Have a problem. I pass a value fetched from a combo box with the post
method.
I then use request.getParameter to store the String in a new string
member.
When I evaluate the string with if(string.equals("string")) it doesn't
return true even if it contains exactly the same string.
Anyone know why?
/Nico
